*

SEM=SD of the difference scores divided by √2

**

SEM 95% CI was calculated as follows: SEM×1.96

***

MDC95=SEM×√2×1.96

TUG=Timed up-and-go test; NUDS=Northwestern University Disability Scale; S&E=Schwab & England Activities of Daily Living Scale; ABC=Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale; PDQ-8=Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire—Short Form; SSE=Stanford Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale; ICC[3,1]=intra-class correlation coefficient; SEM=standard error of measurement
